WE HELP INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES WITH AUTISM ACROSS THEIR LIFESPAN AND PROVIDE AUTISM-FRIENDLY EVENTS AND RELEVANT WORKSHOPS AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES. WE RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT AUTISM AND PROVIDE IMPORTANT RESOURCES AND SUPPORT TO FAMILIES. THROUGH FUNDING OF GRANTS FOR INNOVATIVE OR ALREADY EXISTING PROGRAMS, WE ARE COMMITTED TO IMPROVING THE LIVES OF THOSE AFFECTED BY AUTISM. WE WILL ALSO PROMOTE ACTIVITIES TARGETING DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL SKILLS, WILL WORK TO OPEN DOORS TO JOBS OR INTERNSHIPS AT LOCAL COMPANIES, WILL SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE LOCAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP, WILL POTENTIALLY CREATE OR SUPPORT BUSINESSES THAT SEEK SPECIFICALLY TO TRAIN AND HIRE INDIVIDUALS WITH AUTISM, AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE OPTIONS FOR HOUSING AND SUPPORT FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING. MADE GRANTS TO FIFTY-SEVEN INDIVIDUALS AND FIVE ORGANIZATIONS TO ADVANCE AUTISM PROGRAMS AND AWARENESS. GRANTS TO INDIVIDUALS WERE MADE TO ENABLE CHILDREN, TEENS AND ADULTS TO SEEK RESPITE CARE AND ATTEND SUMMER CAMPS, AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND SPECIALTY CAMPS. GRANTS TO ORGANIZATIONS WERE MADE FOR AUTISM PROGRAMS THAT FOCUS ON SOCIAL SKILLS, EMPLOYMENT TRAINING, SUMMER RESPITE PROGRAMS, AND LIFE-SKILLS PROGRAMS. THE ARKANSAS AUTISM FOUNDATION HELD EVENTS TO RAISE AUTISM AWARENESS, TO PROMOTE THE MISSION OF ARKANSAS AUTISM FOUNDATION, AND TO RAISE FUNDS FOR THE ORGANIZATION.
